Camber adjustment bushings

Just wanted to share this, I have not tried them but I had never heard of/thought about this sort of solution before; if you're looking for a way to achieve camber correction:

Have a read of this BB thread

http://www.babybmw.net/forum/viewtop...erpro#p1227022

Hoss from Australia on BB has installed these bushes.

Powerflex say they are about launch F series bushes too

Thanks, good to know as powerflex seem easier to source for me.

On a similar topic, do you happen to know if the M4 TS can take the F30 TS bushings? with a hydrolic press we can probably take out my original bushings and fit them on to the M4 TS if the size is the same.

I've had a very nice B-road drive today, which reminded me of how much I like my setup now, despite the wheel arch rubbing.

Brilliant

Would you say they strike as being bright purple or is it rather low key? asking because don't want to raise questions from insurance if I opt for these because not using standard parts.

I already run coilovers Tckline, I didn't feel any increase in noise. stock bushings are just too soft it plays by handforce.

Can these camber adjustment bushing be done at home? How difficult is the process (besides needing a press)?

I'm trying to decide if these are worth installing while doing Dinan springs on my 340i.

Well yes and no... installation you can perhaps do it's only a couple of bolts, but any camber change requires alignment immediately afterwards.

Definitely meant just for installation. My local shop in Seattle is a bit of $$$ so figure I would install the bushings (with springs) before aligning it. Looked at the install instructions so besides needing a press it's fairly strait forward...nothing additional to remove or hoops to jump through.

Any feedback from people on here who have them?

Did you end up putting the F30 TS bushings in the M4 TS? and if so did it work fine?

Yes it worked just fine
Although looking back at that i'd fit the millway uniball i now have on my tension struts, not the oem bushings!

Thanks for the great info. If you reused F30 bushes in your F80 TS did you consider or is it possible to reuse stock F30 LCA bushing in the LCA too? I am hoping to add camber but preserve OEM NVH characteristics.

I have found that the OEM subframe dampers ( VIBRATION ABSORBER Part Number: 31106861027) for runflats really make a difference to NVH but they are only fitted to cars which leave the factory with runflats.

Thanks in advance!

I have not found the f80 LCA to bring any change to NVH to be honest.

In fact the only changes that made a real difference in this area were the dampers when i moved to KW DDC, but bushings not really.
